After having learned how to get a clean iritation-free BBS shave on Feather blades I was very dissapointed in these razor blades. I acctually have only used Feather and Merkur blades to date. I decided to get a pack of Merkurs when I last ordered something from Vintage Blades and tried them out the next day. I definately got my regular BBS shave but I did notice more pulling on the first pass. On the second and third passes there was very little pulling and the blade held up for the first shave. On the second shave I had do go back the Feather, there was just too much pulling when I went over the beard stubble. I guess I have gotten too used to the sharpness of Feather blades, not to mention being able to get them and many local stores where I live. Cheers to all of you who swear by them. But I will only use them again if there no other choice.
Thus I gave a 5 for price as it is the norm. Quality was only good for only one full shave in my case. The sharpness I am used to just wasn't there. Longevity, well. . . . no. The smoothness of the first shave was great but short lived. Packaging, again the norm for DE blades.
